Syracuse, N.Y. (AP) - Syracuse voters have picked Democrat Stephanie Miner to be the first woman mayor of Syracuse.
In upstate New York's other contested mayoral race, four-term incumbent Gerald Jennings easily won re-election over Republican challenger Nathan Lebron.
Miner won with 50 percent of the vote, defeating Steve Kimatian, a businessman, and former city parks director Otis Jennings, who ran on the Conservative line after losing to Kimatian in September's run-off.
With 90 percent of the vote reported, Kimatian stood at 40 percent, while Otis Jennings finished third with 10 percent.
Miner, 39, spent eight years as a city councilwoman.
Incumbent mayors Byron Brown in Buffalo and Robert Duffy in Rochester, both Democrats, ran unopposed for second terms.
